Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

The film stays faithfully within its historical setting, prioritizing character complexity and story over modern identity-driven narratives. Characters are portrayed according to their historical reality, with no evidence of forced representation. The film's platform is the drama of royal intrigue, not ideological messaging.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

Traditional family, monarchy, and religious elements are presented as core to the period, with no indication that they are undermined or satirized for modern sensibilities. Masculinity, family dynamics, and morality are investigated within the cultural norms of the era, not deconstructed according to modern ideology.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

The film explores a range of perspectives within its setting and doesn't villainize alternative or traditional worldviews. Its focus is on the political and personal drama, rather than creating caricatures of dissenters or enforcing a single, contemporary moral lens.
